Modern art for the Vikings fan: Stadium will feature sculpture called 'The Horn'

It's not meant to be a horn you can blow ... especially since it'll be 107 feet long and 38 tons of steel.

But discerning Vikings fans will recognize echoes of the Gjallarhorn in the new sculpture that's planned for U.S. Bank Stadium.

"The Horn" is being donated to the new Minneapolis football stadium by Medtronic. It will occupy Medtronic Plaza right next to the "world's largest glass doors," that'll open into the Vikings' new home, the team announced Wednesday.
